Mega deal sealed

LONDON. â The English Premier League have agreed a new three-year TV deal with Sky and BT Sport worth Â£5,136 billion â which means that each game will cost a staggering Â£10 million.Â The new agreement, which starts at the end of next soccer season, is worth 70 percent more than the last deal. Sky will show 126 live matches â including 10 in a new Friday night slot â with BT showing 42 games. âIt is an endorsement of what the Barclays English Premier League delivers that these broadcast partnerships have been extended and enhanced,â said Richard Scudamore, chief executive of the League.

âPremier League clubs deliver competitive and compelling football to fans in stadiums and on television, driving interest levels to new heights,â added Scudamore, right.

âLast season saw record levels of attendance with the highest top-flight crowds since 1949-50, as well as increased viewing figures across all our UK rights holders.â â The Daily Express.
